UFO cult leader, claimed contact with Pleiadian aliens. Faked UFO photos and films. Employed props and stop motion/cut photography to make UFOs disappear and reappear on film. Took photos of female claiming it was an alien, photo was actually taken off of a television screen from an episode of the Dean Martin show. The excuse offered when caught red-handed? MIB disinfo, of course! Meier apparently thought no one would figure this out. Photographed magazine pictures of dinosaurs claiming them as proof he traveled back in time. Also has photos showing him with a 'laser gun' - laughable at best and just painful to look at. Meier has supporters, many whom have cashed in on books, videos, and lectures about Meier's UFO hoax. It's amazing that some idiots still defend this hoax...again, you know who you are. If you want to believe in something badly enough, you'll justify it as reality any way possible - especially when the bottom line dollar is at stake. Beware of delusional people trying to use UFOs as a religion or as a way to get into your wallet. SEE: Picture of UFO model used by Meier and Short Piece on Meier and the article The Camera Never Lies? Also see Meier's "official" media rep Michael Horn's website devoted to championing Meier at the expense of all sanity and the official Billy Meier website. You can also see the whacky photos of a Meier UFO here at this laughable attempt to lend credence to the case. It's painful how anyone could keep a striaght face and promote this silly case. Those promoting Meier claim to be offering life saving information for the survival of the human race - yep, that's why they charge for DVDs, books, videos, and lectures. Beware of those selling prophets for profit.

Well known zealot of, advocate, promoter, and official media rep for phony contactee Billy Meier. Disagree with Horn or offer proof showing Meier to be the fraud he is and Horn will blow his stack while demanding an apology. Horn presents himself as a neutral observer and researcher, but has a clear agenda in promoting the Meier case and one not need look far to see that Horn sells Meier DVDs, books, lectures, music, CDs, and anything else he can. Horn likes to promote Meier's 'wedding cake' UFO photos as proof beyond a doubt. It is both painful and just embarassing to watch someone actually endorse these photos as real. Horn likes to cite the work of other pro-Meier people (Wendell Stevens, Jim Dilettoso, Lee and Brit Elders) when asked for proof. After all, Horn actually believes the Meier case is true because all the pro-Meier literature says so. Someone once referreed to Horn as the Pat Robertson of UFOs. For more on fruitcake Horn and his shameless promotion of Meier, see Horn's website and be sure to read his bio where he proudly lists his having invented the fingernail art fad. Now that should qualify anyone to be an investigator! Also see more 'wedding cake' UFO analysis, The Paracast show where the hosts tear Horn to ribbons, and a page where the author replicates Meier photos with ease. ufowatchdog.com has viewed Horn's DVD on the Meier case...don't waste your money - though it does make a great drink coaster.

On behalf of Luc Buergin, Switzerland, and in cooperation with Germany's UFO magazine, the "UFO-KURIER", we would like to present something which might be of interest.

Another One Bites The Dust Billy Meier: The End!

The Swiss ufo contactee Billy Meier is exposed definitely as swindler. This is the conclusion of an American TV-Special which was produced under participation of the Meier critic Kal Korff. The program shall be broadcast worldwide in July 1998.

Korff had traveled to Switzerland in March of this year where he interviewed Billy's ex-wife Kalliope together with the Swiss UFO researcher and non-fiction book author Luc Buergin. The basis for this were Kalliope's statements in the German "UFO-KURIER" of April of last year (which was translated by Joachim Koch and presented here). There she had exposed to Buergin the contactee stories of her ex-husband as "lies and deception peeks".

Kalliope Meier: "The FIGU obviously has cult-like characteristics. I would like to advise all members to judge Billy's statements critically and not simply to believe him blindly".

The highlight of the TV program are excerpts from the legendary Dean Martin show which in the seventies shall have served Billy as the model for his fake photos.

Buergin: "Korffs team shows, that 'Asket' - an extraterrestrial allegedly photographed by Meier - is in truth the singer of an American dance formation. Obviously Billy took a photograph of the questionable scenes from the TV screen".

On the occasion of Korff's visit to Europe, Buergin has got to know Korff as a really relevant researcher. Says the Swiss: "Korff isn't a sceptic in the classic sense as he is accused occasionally. It is not his intention to explain away all UFOs. He rather wants to divide the truth from the falseness. He contributes with that to the serious investigation of the phenomenon".

In March of this year Korffs appearance in the Art-bell-Show caused excitement among Meier's supporters where he was in a debate with Meier-fan Jim Dilettoso. At this he managed to wring the confession from Dilettoso to have peddled with a wrong doctorate for years.

Buergin, too, had to cope already with heavy critics for his research by Meier's supporters. Why does he work together with Korff? "One cannot explain away the existence of the UFO phenomenon. I personally favor the extraterrestrial hypothesis for some sightings. Unfortunately, definite proofs of this acceptance are missing yet. Therefore it is most important to throw a spanner into the works of so unscrupulous swindlers like Meier. Only in such a way we can get the science to deal with the ufo phenomenon seriously", says Buergin.

Kalliope Meier: After all I have seen, --near the end, before I went away -- I would I say: Yes. My experiences are very mixed. There is a kind of hierarchy. One must go along with that. Otherwise one is excluded.

Korff/Buergin: May Billy be doubted about within the FIGU?

Meier: Billy isn't criticized in the center. Billy is the best there. This also will remain so. For people there, probably this is all right. You live there. But they should not adore him as an idol and not admire him as God either.

Korff/Buergin: Are you religious?

Meier: I have grown up strictly religiously. Greek orthodox. I partly have lived in the cloister. I am atheist today. I am a free human. But I accept everybody who has a religion. Everybody shall believe if he finds this good. I want to change nobody. Everybody is responsible for himself.

Korff/Buergin: You live in Turbenthal today. You feel better than before?

Meier: I have to be content. When I went away I felt very bad. I had lost the floor under the feet, lost reality. I have tried to organize my life newly. I had to say to myself: I must begin a new life after 30 years. Today, I really feel good. I am content. I have somehow found the way ...
